It looks really nice. You did a good job on it. And the colors all work together.
Oh yeh, the question: How does it sound? Have you had enough time to find out?
Great work,

Thanks Bob and Jim,
I haven't had much time to work on it lately, It's mostly been just sitting there letting the strings stretch. I do have a couple of issues I need to address today if I can find the time and my fret rocker,
(had my 4 yo granddaughter helping me in the shop last week)
Not sure if I took to much off the saddle on the high e string when I was shaping the saddle, or I have a high fret or two. The 7th, 8th, and 9th frets are all the same note.
I did try a shim under the saddle (high e) and the issue went away so I may just make a new one and start over.
Issue number two is I forgot to put the side marker dots on.... geesh do I feel silly.
All in all, it sounds great, more bass than I expected, and it's not as loud as the Koa I built, which I wasn't expecting. I don't know enough about the different tone woods for the tops, but I suspect its because I used WRC, instead of the adi.
